Childbirth Education Classes

Homebirth/SFBC Preparation Classes

Introducing SFBC’s specific childbirth preparation class! The goal of the class is to build your tool belt for birth, so that you can continually use your breath as a way to soften and open the body.

We will on information and experiential learning. I bring my background in the science of pregnancy, birth and postpartum to teach you skills and provide with you a solid education that will leave you feeling excited to experience birth!

We do a lot of hands-on exercises including labor positions, comfort measures and breathing techniques. During this class we will spend time looking at our perceptions of discomfort and practice relaxation and breath awareness as coping mechanisms to face it. Partners will also practice massage and supported postures.

We look into variations of normal and potential complications, how they are handled at the SFBC and what might be reasons to transport to the hospital.
